Alpine A390 Leasing

Your Alpine A390 leasing decision

Intelligent Vehicle Finance helps business and private drivers consider Alpine A390 leasing as an electric five-seat sports fastback. Compare GT, Première Edition and GTS around driving priorities, wheel choice and charging access. The smaller A290 and two-seat A110 serve different tasks; confirm the precise A390 specification and supply before deciding.

Alpine A390 business and personal leasing: a different kind of Alpine

The A390 puts an Alpine performance proposition into a five-seat electric format. That makes it relevant to someone who wants one car for a working week, passengers and enjoyable driving, rather than a dedicated two-seat sports car. It also creates a more demanding specification decision than simply choosing the most powerful badge: the wheels, seats and charging routine will be present on every ordinary journey.

For a business driver, the zero-emission company-car path may be part of the attraction, but it should sit beside the car’s taxable value and full operating requirements. For a private driver, begin with cabin comfort, insurance and dependable charging. Neither customer should select from an acceleration headline without checking whether the vehicle works in the places it will be parked, charged and driven most often.

The A290 and A110 remain separate Alpine choices. Use the A290 comparison to test whether a smaller electric hatchback would do the job. Use the A110 route when two-seat sports-car use is genuinely the brief. The A390 should not be described as absorbing either model’s role just because all three share the same marque.

Alpine A390 leasing: key facts

• Alpine’s current UK range lists A390 GT, Première Edition and GTS. The UK configuration describes a five-door, five-seat electric vehicle.
• The A390 uses three electric motors and all-wheel drive with Alpine Active Torque Vectoring. It should not be confused with an A110 sports car.
• The UK GT configurator describes 400 hp DIN (295 kW), while GTS is advertised at 470 hp. IVF’s GT labels use 294 kW; reconcile the exact certificate rather than combining labels.
• Alpine’s UK configuration gives the GT an 89 kWh battery and up to 345 miles combined electric range. This is a scoped GT reference, not a GTS or every-wheel promise; confirm model year, wheels and equipment, with real-world range varying.
• The UK GT configuration gives 4,615 mm length, 2,708 mm wheelbase and 2,055 mm width with mirrors extended. Confirm the offered version and test your parking space.
• GOV.UK: zero-emission company-car BiK is 4% in 2026/27, rising to 9% in 2029/30.

Compare the Alpine A390 options

The A390’s brand relationship to the A110 does not make their seating, weight, dimensions or use cases equivalent. Try the car for the task you intend.

GT, Première Edition and GTS on the IVF page

The live capture contains five A390 rows: GT, Première Edition, GT with a 22 kW suffix, GTS with 21-inch alloy wording, and GTS with 21-inch alloy/22 kW wording. GT descriptions use 294 kW and GTS descriptions 345 kW, all with 89 kWh. The manufacturer’s UK GT display uses 400 hp DIN and 295 kW. Confirm the actual homologated specification rather than silently treating a catalogue label as the definitive technical document.

The 22 kW suffix concerns the named charging equipment, not the traction motor’s output. Have the on-board charger written into the quotation. Whether you can use its capability depends on the supply where you charge, so an equipment upgrade should be tied to a real location and routine. The highest charging number is not automatically a useful addition for every owner.

GTS should be judged as a complete specification. Ask how its seats, wheels and equipment affect comfort on your regular roads. A wheel shown on a promotional car is not necessarily the wheel fitted to a GT quotation. Keep the selected tyre and wheel arrangement explicit before comparing range or operating costs.

Performance does not remove the need for a charging plan

The UK GT configurator supplies an up-to-345-mile combined electric-range reference with its 89 kWh configuration. Use that only for the matching GT model year, wheels and equipment, not as a figure for every A390 or a GTS promise. Starting charge, speed, weather and vehicle load affect real journeys. A motorway itinerary needs a reserve and a fallback charging location.

First establish what charging is available where the A390 normally spends several hours. Check the installation, available supply and parking access before choosing an on-board charging option. Ask for the exact AC and DC specification of the offered car, plus its charging conditions, rather than joining a range headline to an unrelated charging claim from another version or market.

For a director travelling to appointments, build the route around the time actually available to stop. For a private household sharing the car, agree who plugs it in and how the next journey’s charge requirement is communicated. Performance capability and a workable electric routine are compatible, but one does not establish the other.

Check the fastback as a passenger car

Alpine’s UK GT dimensions put the vehicle at 4,615 mm long and 2,055 mm wide with mirrors extended. Check those against your driveway, workplace entrance and regular parking spaces, allowing room to open the doors. A dimension on a specification sheet is only the start of a manoeuvring test, particularly if the A390 replaces a smaller car.

Try the rear seats after the front occupants have set their driving positions. Then load the boot with the bags or equipment you actually carry. Avoid borrowing a luggage figure from a different configuration without its measurement basis. Inspect the seat-folding arrangement, charging-cable storage and any accessories together. For an extended test, concentrate on low-speed manoeuvres, familiar road surfaces and the controls used every day, as well as the performance that first attracted you.

Alpine A390 company-car tax across the lease

The A390’s electric powertrain places it on the zero-emission company-car percentage path. Its performance grade does not alter that percentage by itself, but the P11D value and relevant options change the amount to which it is applied.

A director or employee should compare the actual GT, Première Edition or GTS taxable value before personal income tax is calculated. The monthly rental is a separate cost. A move between grades can therefore affect both the agreement and the benefit even where the zero-emission percentage is unchanged.

Check the complete sequence below if your agreement crosses April 2028 or April 2029. The A390 also needs the electric-car Expensive Car Supplement assessment against its undiscounted list price. Treat road tax, the planned mileage duty and charging provision as separate parts of the whole-term decision rather than assuming electric status removes them.

Use our company-car BiK guide alongside HMRC’s 2026/27 and 2027/28 tables and the published 2028/29 and 2029/30 changes. Tax information checked 24 September 2026 against the C1 ledger and its primary sources. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change; consult your accountant.

Road tax and costs across the term

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). For 2026/27, the standard annual VED payment after the first year is £200 before any supplement. First-year VED depends on CO2 and registration rules; zero-emission cars currently have a £10 first-year rate. These cash rates apply to 2026/27 only; later annual VED rates are not confirmed here. Ask how the funder treats tax increases during your agreement.

Expensive Car Supplement. The Expensive Car Supplement is currently £440 a year for five years from the second licence. The list-price threshold is more than £40,000 for petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, or more than £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. Use the published list price before discounts, including relevant options, and check the registration date. Plug-in hybrids do not receive the electric-car threshold. GOV.UK explains VED and the supplement.

Planned eVED. The government plans Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) from April 2028, alongside VED: 3p per mile for electric cars and 1.5p per mile for plug-in hybrids. This is proposed for April 2028, subject to legislation and implementation; it is not a charge currently in force. The stated rates are planned starting rates, with CPI uprating proposed from 2029/30 and later cash rates not confirmed. An agreement spanning introduction needs the funder’s written treatment of the charge and later changes. Check the government’s consultation response and final implementation guidance before committing.

VAT and the business accounts

VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim 50% of the VAT on qualifying car rentals where private use is available, depending on circumstances and the normal VAT rules. Full rental-VAT recovery requires exclusive business use with no private availability. Maintenance can fall outside the rental block when it is genuinely optional, separately described in the contract and separately quantified on the invoice; recovery remains subject to normal VAT rules. Read HMRC’s motoring VAT guidance.

Businesses using the VAT Flat Rate Scheme do not normally recover input VAT on recurring car hire. The separate capital-goods exception does not turn hire invoices into a vehicle purchase. Check HMRC’s Flat Rate Scheme guidance.

A zero-emission car is not subject to the CO2-based lease-rental restriction. Check HMRC’s car-hire deduction rules.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, revised FRS 102 generally requires a right-of-use asset and lease liability for lessees, including small companies using Section 1A. FRS 105 lease accounting for eligible micro-entities was not changed in the same way. Contract hire therefore does not universally keep a car off the balance sheet. Ask your accountant to apply the right framework; HMRC summarises the accounting standards.

Build the quotation around the way you will use it

Tell IVF your annual mileage, regular passengers, essential equipment, charging access where relevant and preferred timing. Ask for the precise model year, derivative, options and registration status to be written into the quotation. The catalogue is a starting point; the offered vehicle and funder terms need confirmation.

Business Contract Hire is taken by the business; Personal Contract Hire is taken by the private individual. Both are subject to status and individual funder criteria. Compare the initial rental, term, mileage, maintenance and applicable fees on the same basis. An initial rental is part of the hire cost, not refundable security or ownership equity.

A manufacturer warranty starts under the supplied car’s warranty terms, normally from first registration. Its time and mileage limits may finish before your lease does. It is separate from optional servicing and tyre cover. Confirm maintenance inclusions, insurance responsibilities, tax provisions and early-termination terms before signing.

At the end of contract hire, return the vehicle; there is no contractual purchase option. Excess mileage, damage beyond the funder’s fair wear and tear standard, missing equipment or other contractual charges may still be payable. Check the return process before choosing your agreement.
